NBA 2019-2020 Regular Season

[CrimsonNBlue]

Last we see from D'Tae and Wiggs.

[Geezer]

there is 2 drafts?

Draft lottery is the first one, got it.

[pdub]

So who wins this thing?
Clips?
Bucks?
Lakes?

And if it’s Lakes I can’t wait to hear from Cascadia.

[TDub]

Who stayed in shape after lockdown. Who is able to most quickly get mentally focused. Lets hope its the bucks.

[pdub]

Bucks deserve it.
Love what Coach Bud has set up there.

[NewtonHawk11]

I think the Lakers are my pick. A rested LeBron down the stretch will be close to unstoppable.

Think the Bucks will do great and make the finals. They're very good. And they do deserve something before Giannis dips out of there.

[pdub]

So 8 regular season games left and Bucks are up 6.5 and Lakers are up 5.5.
So 1 seeds East and West pretty set.
Grizz fighting for that last spot - and interestingly Josh Jackson was starting to become a decent part of that team - 16.6 PPG in March - no game under 15 points.

[PortlandHawk]

I’d like to see Embiid do well.

[NewtonHawk11]

Going to be really fun to see these games in a smaller gym with no crowds. Going to hear EVERYTHING and see these guys even more closeup in game action.

In that same vein, how cool would it be to mic up the players, and make smart TVs be interactive, meaning you could switch to the players mic you wanted to hear?

Likely never happen ( nfl would be cool too ) bc players have to always be careful what they say to avoid the social media torches and bc of possible strategy disadvantages, but would be fun.

Bundesliga on now. No player mics. First weekend was just the echo of empty stadium. Now stadium sounds pumped in on broadcast to drown most of that eerie feeling out.

It’s not organic, but I’m alright with it for now. Only way hearing everything in sideline would be good is if it was not edited at all, and I do t see that happening.

On now if you’re reading close to when posted. FS1.

Saw a little bit of likely another Bundesliga game (Augsburg vs Cologne/Koln). It was eerie indeed and it took me a while to figure out that they were piping in some stadium sound. Good game, still

[pdub]

My question with the return of the nba ( or kinda any sport really ) is, yes, all the players need to be tested, and with their families and team staff all isolated in Orlando it will be very likely there won’t be new cases, but what if there is?

And what if it’s to an All Star?

I suppose it’s kind of like an injury at the worst time.

But the NFL won’t be able to all be isolated.

[Deleted User 141]

Lol. This seems like such a stupid trying to be doing, but being done just to do something. I suppose that’s important to many (most).

I’m laughing at it being in Florida. Should be in North Dakota or somewhere similar.

[pdub]

North Dakota wouldn't have the facilities.

[Deleted User 141]

3 gyms and a bunch of empty houses?

[Deleted User 141]

Any college campus town would be fine. Every dorm is, well, dormant.

[pdub]

You need basketball gyms/arenas set up for broadcast.
And would NBA players and their families rather be in North Dakota or a resort in Florida?

You couldn't watch live due to the language used. And even then, people would be crying about "the children are watching".

Versus a huge hotel with major amenities? You answered your own question.
